A bioluminescent-based probe for in vivo non-invasive monitoring of nicotinamide riboside uptake reveals a link between metastasis and NAD plus metabolism

Elena Goun, Arkadiy Bazhin, Pavlo Khodakivskyi, Georgy Mikhaylov, Aleksey Yevtodiyenko, Tamara Maric

Nicotinamide riboside (NR) is a form of vitamin B3 and is one of the most studied compounds for the restoration of cellular NAD+ levels demonstrating clinical potential in many metabolic and age-related disorders. Despite its wide commercial availability a ...

Noninvasive imaging and quantification of bile salt hydrolase activity: From bacteria to humans

Elena Goun, Arkadiy Bazhin, Pavlo Khodakivskyi, Aleksey Yevtodiyenko

The microbiome-produced enzyme bile salt hydrolase (BSH) plays a central role in human health, but its function remains unclear due to the lack of suitable methods for measuring its activity. Here, we have developed a novel optical tool based on ultrasensi ...
